What to expect
Concepción
Early in the morning you head for the foot of the impressive and active volcano Concepción. From Urbaite, you start the climb, passing coffee and banana plantations. Stunning nature and great views can be expected on the way up, but be prepared for a tough day of climbing. After passing the treeline, the sun can be overwhelming but the views get even better. It is necessary to climb over rocks for the last part, as the trail gets rather rough and difficult. If you eventually reach the top, the sky is clear and the views are superb. Seeing sulfur smoke getting up from the crater is a magnificent and satisfactory thrill.
